Ukrainian pensioners will receive increased payments in November. This applies to those who have reached a certain age and have a low pension. The supplements range from 300 to 570 UAH monthly — they are appointed automatically, without trips to the Pension Fund. This is reported by Oboz.
Who will receive a pension increase starting in November
The state has established age supplements for citizens who are 70 years old and above, provided that their total pension does not exceed 10,340.35 UAH.
The amount of supplements:
-
70–75 years — +300 UAH
-
75–80 years — +456 UAH
-
80+ years — +570 UAH.
The calculations begin from the date of birth, so in the first month, the amount will be proportional to the number of days after reaching the age. Previously, only citizens aged 80+ received the supplement, and later it was extended to age groups 75–79 and 70–74 years.
It is not necessary to contact the PFU — everything happens automatically.
When can the increased pension payments be suspended
Along with the increase, there is also control. Some pensioners must pass identification by the end of the year, especially those who are abroad or in occupied territories.
Reasons for pension suspension
-
lack of identity confirmation/identification;
-
the recipient has not collected the pension for more than half a year;
-
discovery of false information in documents;
-
failure to undergo inspection for disability pensions;
-
court decision.
Internally displaced persons must maintain their IDP status or undergo verification — there are court cases where failure to restore status led to the suspension of payments.
Starting from 2026, the requirements for insurance experience will be strengthened: to retire at 60, one will need to have not 32, but 33 years of experience.
